Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional)
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Method
 

  1. Rinse the rice until the water runs almost clear. Combine in a saucepan with the coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
  3. Spoon into bowls, scatter with scallions, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

Notes

This rice needs a 10-minute rest off the heat after cooking, so plan for about 30 minutes total from start to plate. For extra fragrance, stir a bruised lemongrass stalk into the pot before simmering and fish it out before you serve.
